Virtual Tour of the Birch Haven LEED Platinum home
The Birch Haven Residence is on a small lake in Southwest Michigan and is designed with passive solar in mind that is a key to the energy conservation strategy but also creates a dynamic and interesting aesthetic feature. Designer Michael Carlson will take you on a live virtual tour of this LEED platinum certified home along with special guest interviews by the builder, Homes by True North and HVAC contractor Kauffman Electrical. We will cover topics such as deconstruction of existing site structures, sustainable sites, air source heat pumps, structurally insulated panels, solar power on homes and general LEED design strategies.
